Daodejing II. 46.

When there is Tao in the empire
The galloping steeds are turned back to fertilize the ground by their droppings.
When there is not Tao in the empire
War horses will be reared even on the sacred mounds below the city walls.
(No lure is greater than to possess what others want,)
No disaster greater than not to be content with what one has,
No presage of evil greater than men should be wanting to get more.
Truly: “He who has once known the contentment that comes simply through being content, will never again be otherwise than contented”.

Waley 46

天下有道时, 战马用来种田。天下无道时, 戎马生于杀场。
祸莫大于不知足; 罪莫大于欲得。因此知足的人感到满足, 而且永远感到满足。

白话翻译

When the way prevails in the empire, fleet-footed horses are relegatedto ploughing in the fields;
When the way does not prevail in the empire, war-horses breed on theborder.

There is no crime greater than having too many desires;
There is no disaster greater than not being content;
There is no misfortune greater than being covetous.
